  • Noida-Mathura weekend drive

    It has not been a long time since yamuna expressway was inaugurated and I was longing to get a ride on it so we decided to finally make a small One-Day Trip to Mathura and Agra. As is the case with all the students, we always lack time, we always lack money and we have parents with a bag full of questions when it comes to driving a bike out of the city. But still after all the long hours and many FAQ's later we decided to go on Sunday. We set off early at 7:30 and we had our breakfast at the first expressway cafe. since we thought we had time we stopped at every expressway cafe.

    We reached Mathura by 10:30 and went straight to lord Krishna's birth place. As it turns out there is a lot to visit in Mathura except just the temple and there are many historical relics.

    As slow as the city may sound, it is very rich an diverse in culture. People here love to help others and they just look so happy with what they have. They are not hungry for more and the city itself is in peace.

    "You gear up, I gotta take more photos"


    We stayed on the banks of yamuna for a while before we realized that our initial plan consisted of visiting Agra after Mathura but we got so absorbed in Mathura itself that we got late for Agra. But we had no idea that on the way back that nature will surprise us in such a way. As we crossed the second toll dark clouds appeared in our rear view mirror and winds just got faster and faster.

    Just after we had made it out of the last toll we had a downpour bestowed upon us. Rains in this region are a relief and every drop of water that falls on you fells like heaven. We had such a great time and I would say Yamuna Expressway does not disappoint you at all. It's not a very scenic route per sae but you never know what changes might you see when you start from the either side.

    Enjoy The wind first we'll ride later

    This ride is mostly dedicated to my friend in the background who convinced my parents to let me go on this ride and i'll always remember it because it was my first out city drive and my FIRST WEEKEND GETAWAY!

    Express ride approved!

    Nice to see you guys wearing a helmet and you even endorsing knee/elbow guards (being students). But a jacket is also necessary. It's tough in a student life, so next time at least put on a denim jacket that would save you better than a shirt. Also, ask your friend(s) to do the same.
    Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
    Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

      Good start brother. Ride safe!
      A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
